Okay, once again I may have gotten off track on how much I am taking in and I am not sure if it is hindering my weight loss goals or not so I am gonna list out what I eat 5 days a week then what I eat the other 2 and I would love some advice on if I need to add or subtract some calories.
First I should give my info I suppose
Height - 5'2"
Weight - 226 pounds, I started out at 330 pounds.
I have just started alternating exercise DVDs. I have 3 The Biggest Loser workout dvds which are 1 hour - 1.5 hours long, depending on which dvd I choose to do that day plus I also have Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. Most of these DVDs do what I suppose is called "circuit training". Anywho, I do these 6-7 days per week.
Now on to my foods. I don't normally stray off my norm so my diet is pretty bland and boring mostly, which is the way I prefer it.
Breakfast -
1.5 cups cooked oats which according to the oats container is roughly 210 calories
I add 1/4 cup cooked apples into this, the apples are "par boiled" in water only. Just enough to soften them up.
I also have 1 hard boiled egg.
For a snack I will have an orange.
Lunch is salad with tuna or canned chunk turkey. My salad consists of 2-3 cups lettuce, the tuna or turkey, and sometimes cucumber and mushrooms but not usually. And I do add about 3 tbsp of Hidden Valley fat free ranch.
Snack is normally 10 multigrain saltines dipped in mustard (I am a mustard freak, hehe).
Supper is Progresso Light soup, usually chicken noodle or vegetable and rice. A whole can is 140 calories for the chicken and 120 calories for the vegetable.
The 2 days my bf is off work, I cook dinner and it is always either catfish fillet baked with rice and green beans or baked boneless skinless chicken breast with rice and green beans. And the rice is not a healthy type rice since it is Rice a roni, chicken flavored but in my own defense I don't add the butter to it :| but my bf loves the rice so I do cook it and I do eat some each time, normally about 1/2 cup for me.
I try to usually drink 4-6 glasses water and I do normally have 1-2 glasses unsweetened iced tea plus about 3 cups coffee over the course of the day.
So, please, help me out here. And please take it easy on me
Hugs
Michelle
